ClinOne Adds Real-Time Webhooks to Its Already Industry-Leading API for Seamless Collaboration with Pharmaceutical Companies and Clinical Research Organizations (CROs)


News Image

“ClinOne created our platform to integrate into existing clinical systems. We prioritized building our industry-leading API and today we took another leap forward by enhancing it with webhooks functionality our customers want to explore.” Rob Bohacs, Founder & Chief Solutions Officer, ClinOne

ClinOne, the patient relationship company for clinical trials, continues to prioritize collaboration and the interoperability of its true single platform by adding webhook functionality to its already industry-leading API. Webhooks allow pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations (CROs) to integrate data more efficiently, and in real time, from ClinOne solutions including eConsent, Uber Health, medication adherence, and virtual visits.

While not all clinical technology providers offer APIs for integrating into existing clinical systems (e.g. EDC or CTMS), the current industry standard requires CROs and pharma company sponsors to ping each solution on a regular basis to identify any new data or changes and then ingest them – which introduces data transfer quality risk, significant IT burden and inefficiency, and a delay to data review and analysis.

Webhooks, conversely, allow ClinOne solutions to notify partner systems immediately when there are new data and securely transmits them in real time, such as a new patient consenting into a trial or the current global medication compliance confirmation rates. And because all ClinOne solutions were built on the same true single platform, it is easier than ever for CROs and sponsors to bring essential technology into their own clinical trial ecosystem without changing user experience or expectations.

“If our industry’s inspirational response to the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that the best things happen when we remove barriers to working together – with CROs, with sponsors, and even with competing technology providers,” said Rob Bohacs (LinkedIn), Founder and Chief Solutions Officer at ClinOne. “Even before then, we knew from the beginning when creating our platform that one key to sustained future value would be the ability to integrate seamlessly into existing clinical systems. So we prioritized building our industry-leading API, which few if any providers of our size have, and today we took a leap even further by enhancing it with webhooks functionality we know our customers are eager to explore.”

The coalition also announced that it has engaged Thorn Run Partners, a Washington, DC-based lobbying firm, to represent the needs and perspective of private practice on Capitol Hill.

Seven new members, all independent privately-owned radiology practices, have joined Strategic Radiology since the start of the pandemic in January 2020. They range in size from 9 radiologists to 65 radiologists.

eMurmur first open digital stethoscope platform now available in the US


eMurmur

What makes eMurmur unique is that we are an open platform for third party digital stethoscopes and telehealth providers.

eMurmur®, a technology partner to the global healthcare community, announces the world’s first open software platform for advanced digital auscultation (stethoscope technology) is now available in the US. It makes improved screening for heart, lung, and bowel health accessible to hardware and telehealth providers throughout the US. The eMurmur platform is hardware neutral and runs on iOS, Android, and common browsers, making it the first open and widely accessible auscultation technology. Healthcare providers can use it with their existing digital stethoscope, enabling them to better screen, monitor, and diagnose.

Heart and lung disease are leading causes of death globally for both men and women. Auscultation (meaning “to listen with a stethoscope”) is a 200+ year-old method to screen for heart and lung disease by listening for abnormal sounds, used worldwide for patients of all ages. It’s an integral step in providing primary care. eMurmur has modernized this traditional technology to improve outcomes for physicians and patients.

“The eMurmur platform allows healthcare providers to listen to the human body with a degree of clarity greatly valued by even the most highly trained ear. Our technology can be used in-person, remotely, or asynchronously to screen patients for early warning signs related to heart, lung, and bowel health.” said Andreas Schriefl, founder and CEO of eMurmur. “What makes eMurmur unique is that we are an open platform for third party digital stethoscopes and telehealth providers. We are increasingly seeing new innovative stethoscopes coming to market and welcome them to use our world class auscultation software to access our cutting-edge capabilities.”

eMurmur is also pleased to announce its US distribution partner MobilDrTech Inc. Anyone interested in a free trial of the eMurmur software can download the iOS or Android app. MobilDrTech sells a variety of compatible digital stethoscopes and offers demos of the eMurmur platform.

“The appetite for advanced healthcare technologies that support virtual consultations and offer a high degree of confidence in early heart, lung and bowel screening is in demand,” said Nat Gist, MobilDrTech Inc. “The pandemic has made telehealth a critical part of our healthcare system and working with eMurmur to bring this potentially lifesaving technology and open platform to the US market means that more Americans will benefit from early detection and receive the high-quality healthcare they deserve.”

eMurmur’s digital records enable providers to evaluate patient conditions over time, as well as consult with colleagues outside of the examination setting. Using advanced engineering, eMurmur makes it possible for healthcare providers to screen, monitor, diagnose, and consult on heart, lung and bowel irregularities with greater certainty.

For a free trial of the eMurmur platform, download the eMurmur app and sign up: App Store download | Play Store download

Law Firm Discusses Effects of COVID-19 on Personal Injury Claims


Henderson Personal Injury Law Firm

Henderson Personal Injury Law Firm

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for improved infection control measures, Nevada passed SB4, which addressed public health issues to protect workers and businesses. The pandemic and the regulations of SB4 have created several changes and disruptions for all types of businesses, including law firms. MLG Injury Law of Henderson wanted to explain to the public how COVID-19’s effects have influenced personal injury case evaluations. This pandemic has caused not only our local community in Henderson to evaluate personal injury cases differently, but the world.

One of the most common effects COVID-19 had on personal injury case evaluation in Nevada has been access to medical treatment. Before the pandemic, it was easier for people to receive the continuing care they needed after an injury or a disability. However, as hospitals filled with more COVID-19 patients and faced staff shortages, non-emergency treatments were not given priority. Many people require physical therapy or other non-emergent care after an accident. When people cannot access the treatments they need in a timely manner, waiting for them may lead to delays in the lawsuit process that relate to medical evaluations. In some cases, neglecting medical care can lead to negative health effects.

Another way that personal injury cases have been affected is through court delays. As restrictions were observed in 2020, many court proceedings were delayed to avoid in-person gatherings. Hearings had to be rescheduled and pushed back. The changes in schedules caused long-lasting delays. However, some courts are now handling certain types of hearings remotely using video conferencing software. Courts typically provide an outline of how they handle cases during the continuation of COVID-19 in 2021 and beyond.

Cases are also affected by slower negotiations and lower offers of settlements. Slower negotiations may be tied to staffing changes, operational changes and other factors. For many companies, insurers or individuals, financial struggles have led to a reduced ability to pay during 2020 and 2021. Some have even had to file for bankruptcy, reducing some victims’ ability to collect compensation. Additionally, victims in injury cases who experience delays and financial strains may be more tempted to accept low settlement offers directly.

While it may be tempting for many people to accept a direct settlement offer after experiencing delays and other problems related to COVID-19, MLG Injury Law encourages injured individuals to work with personal injury lawyers in Henderson to ensure injured victims have the best chance for a favorable outcome. Despite the difficulties the pandemic has created, the attorneys at MLG Injury Law will continue to work hard on behalf of clients to help them through their difficulties. The firm plans to continue offering its services to the best of its ability during any potential future delays as well. MLG Injury Law released this announcement to answer some of the common questions that relate to delays or disruptions in personal injury cases.

Criminal Defense Attorney Noah Kilroy Helps Drug Mule Arrested With 15 Kilograms of Fentanyl Get 3 1/2 Year Sentence


Attorney Noah Kilroy

Attorney Noah Kilroy

“A life sentence was on the table at one point. We convinced the judge to give him a three and a half year sentence.”

Nelson A. Garcia Martinez, 40, pleaded guilty to transporting approximately $14 million worth of fentanyl across the country to Sturbridge, Massachusetts, for a payment of $6,000. At the time he agreed to participate, he had no knowledge of the specific drug being transported or its value. Garcia Martinez was employed as a truck driver operating out of California where he and his wife and children reside. He had no prior criminal history.

“If I could go back in time I would have never done it,” stated Garcia Martinez, through a Spanish interpreter, “I ask for forgiveness from the state of Massachusetts . . . and the United States.” Garcia Martinez is a native of El Salvador who has been working to build a life for his family in the United States, although he has illegal immigrant status.

The father of five was arrested in November of 2018 after delivering 15 kilograms of fentanyl connected to a large drug bust a month prior. Authorities obtained a warrant to track Garcia Martinez’s phone and monitor his cross-country trip. He was charged with the distribution of 400 grams or more of fentanyl.

Garcia Martinez has been imprisoned since his 2018 arrest and has not seen his family since embarking on the trip from California to Massachusetts. The financial burden of cross-country visitation, coupled with losing their income from Garcia Martinez’s trucking job, has prevented them from traveling to see him.

Noah J. Kilroy represented Garcia Martinez as his attorney in this drug trafficking case. Unlike many legal professionals, Kilroy has an in-depth understanding of the criminal justice system, having served time himself for drug trafficking. The experience of being incarcerated was life-changing for Kilroy, who now finds himself on the other side of the law, representing those who deserve a second chance, like the one he received.

Kilroy was abandoned at birth by a drug-addicted mother and shuffled through the foster care system. He eventually dropped out of high school and found a way to make ends meet the only way he knew how. He was arrested multiple times for selling drugs but not deterred. It wasn’t until his last incarceration, in which he was arrested with over 2 kilograms of cocaine, that he chose to pursue a different path in life. He graduated from law school in 2013.

Nelson Garcia Martinez was also facing serious charges that could forever change his ability to be a present father and serve society in a meaningful way, after only one criminal offense.

“They’re (considered) expendable,” Kilroy said of drug mules. The attorney also noted that Garcia Martinez was not even told where specifically he was driving his tractor-trailer until he got to Massachusetts. He did not know the sellers or buyers of the product he was transporting.

Kilroy asked Judge Timothy S. Hillman for a 36-month sentence. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nadine Pellegrini requested 46 months due to the large number of drugs involved in the case. Judge Hillman split the requests and issued a sentence of 42 months in prison. Without zealous legal advocacy, Garcia Martinez could have faced much more significant penalties.

“A life sentence was on the table at one point. We convinced the judge to give him a three and a half year sentence,” stated Kilroy.

The 42-month sentence will also include time served while in holding prior to the trial. Upon Kilroy’s request, Judge Hillman agreed to recommend that Garcia Martinez be transferred to a federal prison close to his family in California.

Local Community Leaders Honored by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals


News Image

“Amid the ups-and-downs caused by the pandemic, we’d be remiss not to shine a light on the resiliency and perseverance that children’s hospitals and their staff have achieved this past year,” said Teri Nestel, President and CEO of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a leading nonprofit aimed to protect kids’ health with a network of 170 children’s hospitals, honored community leaders at its annual conference held virtually last week. These awards honor the nonprofit’s network luminaries for their admirable leadership despite many hardships healthcare professionals faced throughout the past 20 months.

“Amid the ups-and-downs caused by the pandemic, we’d be remiss not to shine a light on the resiliency and perseverance that children’s hospitals and their staff have achieved this past year,” said Teri Nestel, President and CEO of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “We’re incredibly proud that these individuals and hospitals are part of our network and work together to ensure all kids grow up stronger, healthier and ready for tomorrow.”

The 2021 Chief Development Officer of the Year Award is new to the network this year and was awarded to Grant Harris with Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Harris is known to foster valuable relationships with corporate partners and tirelessly look for future opportunities to maximize impact for kids served. He takes pride in connecting passionate donors to the needs of local families and seeing that generosity at work.

The 2021 Program Director of the Year award was awarded to Colette Forcier with Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu. This award is presented by McLane and recognizes those who exhibit selfless and heartfelt service, commitment and dedication. It’s representative of the organization’s belief that kids come first. Despite the challenges her hospital faced due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Forcier has become an invaluable resource to CMN Hospitals peers and community leaders alike for her steadfast motivation and dedication to the cause.

The 2021 Hospital Foundation of the Year Award has been awarded to two extraordinary hospitals: Seattle Children’s Hospital and Children’s Health in Dallas.

Grown from humble beginnings in 1988, when fundraising totaled just $23,000 to a record-breaking year reaching over $7 Million, the small but mighty team at Seattle Children’s Hospital brings over 35 years of combined experience to their work each day.

After decades of operating with only one dedicated staff member to Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, Children’s Health has invested and grown the CMN Hospitals team within the foundation to eight full-time employees in just under four years. This team is positive and engaged while working cohesively with their counterparts at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Ft. Worth, Texas, to maintain growth and promotion of all CMN Hospitals partnerships and programs in the greater Dallas, Fort Worth and North Texas region.
